The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Finland Timo Soini signed Tuesday a Memorandum of Understanding on bio-economy and circular economy between Finland and Chile with the aim to further reinforce forest cooperation and promote trade relations between the two countries.
Primarily the cooperation would be in the form of exchange of knowledge and information on bio-economy and sustainable use of natural resources, said a press release of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
In particular, Chile wishes to promote the utilisation of bio-based energy.
The use of wood as fuel is inefficient and primitive heating systems are a significant source of pollution.
Representatives of the National Forestry Corporation of Chile (Corporación Nacional Forestal CONAF) visited Finland in 2015 to learn about the efficient and sustainable use of forest biomass in energy production.
After the visit, which was considered a success, the Chilean party proposed a Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries, according to the release.
In Finland the work on the Memorandum of Understanding was coordinated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and it was prepared in cooperation with other relevant ministries, bodies under the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and other stakeholders.
